The Last Summer(Wattys 2021)

Harveys POV,

"Hurry up Harvey or you're going to be late. Why are you even trying so hard? Its not like youre going to meet some kind of prince Charming because youre stuck with a ten year old date" A voice in my head said

"You're taking way too long, Miss Davidson" Gina knocked on my door and reminded me that I still had somewhere to be. I finished up my makeup and looked in the mirror, satisfied with my look, I came out of the room.

"My oh my, you look stunning" Gina looked at me with admiration. "Oh thank you " I went downstairs to meet Dean.

Dean turned to me and his jaw dropped. "Wow, you are really beautiful" My heart skipped a bit at his compliment. I know that it's just an innocent ten year old complimenting me but I couldn't help but blush at his compliment. "Alright, you guys should get going or you are going to be late" Gina clapped her hands

Dean stood up from the couch and that's when I took a moment to access Dean, Oh good heavens. He looked so hot in his red tuxedo, wait red, we are matching. That's why Gina didn't want me to have a look.

I turned to Gina and gave her a wicked look and she instantly got the message and looked at me in a very sly but innocent way. I tried so hard to ignore all the electricity that was passing through my body as Dean linked our elbows together as we stood in front of the venue's door.

The door opened and we came into view. The entire hall became silent and everybody turned their heads to our side, Oh goodness. I was trembling in fear until Dean interlaced our fingers and flashed me a million dollar smile.

Somehow, it gave me courage and I was no longer afraid of going inside.

"Who's that girl?"

"I bet she's only with him to fool him and collect his money since he's not in his right mind".

"She's quite beautiful and innocent faced but she seems like she's shady"

Everyone was throwing shades at me but I didn't care. I watched over Dean like I was asked to. I helped him with his food and I also took him to the bathroom. No I know what you're thinking, I didnt go in.

It was very stressful keeping up with Dean because he was so social and had lot of friends that were surprisingly still close to him. They talked about ball and other boring stuff that boys do. I smiled at Dean's cuteness as he tried to copy everything the other men were doing.

I couldn't take it anymore so I decided to leave Dean for a bit but I left  him with one of his friends who seemed really nice to look after him.

I went to the bar to get a drink. I took a glass of racks on racks. I sat down and gently took a sip from my glass. I was savoring the taste when I heard a voice from behind me.

"Hello Pretty, I couldn't help but notice such a pretty lady sitting all by herself" I rolled my eyes at his boring pickup lines. I already planned my insult for him but when I turned around, my mouth was doing an entirely different thing.

I was practically drooling. Why is New York filled with so much hot guys? He is really handsome but Dean is still much more handsome than he is.

"Well, now that you're here, I'm no longer lonely" Did I really just flirt back? Really Harvey?

"I didnt get the name miss"

"Not so fast, I dont even know yours"

"Luke, Luke Chandar"

"Harvey, Harvey Davidson Chandar? Where have I.....No way, you're the host"

"Such a beautiful name for a beautiful lady. Yes, I am the host. So tell me, who are you because I've never seen you before"

"You're not going to believe it but Im actually here as a babysitter" He burst into laughter

"Can I get your number?"

"Slow down, Andrew Davila"

(PS; I love Andrew and think he can charm any girl that he wants to)

"What, who's that? Why can't I have your number?"

"Because you cant get my number that easily"

"So when Can I get it?"

"When the time is right"

I smiled and walked out of the bar and went back to the ballroom. I saw Dean dancing with a girl. Her hands were on his neck and his on her waist and she was teaching him how to dance. I don't know why but a wave of jealousy slapped me in the face.

"Dean" I called out to him and he pushed her away and came to meet me. The girl looked petrified. Ha! That's what you get for touching Dean.

"Where were you? I wanted to dance with you but I cant dance"

"Alright, so is that why you were with that ugly girl" Harvey, you need help

"I'm sorry" He pouted

"Come on, lets dance"

I took Dean to the dance floor and wrapped my arms around his neck and he put his on my waist. We stared into each others eyes and for a moment there, everything else didnt matter. In a regular love story, this is the point where the boy leans in and captures her lips but wake up you moron because he is an innocent ten year old. The more I get close to him, the more I feel scared that I may end up falling for a man who can never love me back because hes mentally unstable.
